the bible is not a book full of opinions. it is the truth and there is no way around it

What truth? The genesis creation has been disproven, there's no evidence of a global flood, no evidence of the Israelites in Egypt or the surrounding desert for 40 years, no real evidence of the existence of Jesus let alone the divinity of Jesus, and any morality taught by jesus was taught hundreds of years before him by Buddha and Confusius, so I see no truth behind the bibles claims.

Is this argument on equal ground with the Kalam Cosmological Argument? Mine. Premise 1: Nothing that begins to exist can come from no things, Premise 2: The universe came from either something, or no thing, Premise 3: The universe exists, Conclusion: Therefore the universe began to exist out of something. The Kalam. Premise 1: Whatever begins to exist has a cause, Premise 2: The universe began to exist, Conclusion: The universe has a cause. Definitions: Universe - the totality of all existence, time, space, energy, matter. No thing - absolute absence of existence. (All other definitions are their dictionary definitions, to my knowledge.)

I'm totally good with this. I see no problem with women beating the shit out of some guys. I have taught a lot of women who are pretty badass!

@VicZinc I do not see this as excluding a god it only excludes the possibility that god came from no thing If there is...

Unless they are willing to admit that something can come from no thing, in which case you can propose that the universe came from no thing, unless they use a special pleading fallacy.

The treatment of women needs some real improvement. Did you know 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted/raped? I don't know about you, but I would sleep a lot easier if that number was a hell of a lot lower or non-existent. Amirite?
@1991978

Thanks, I just recently got my 3rd degree in TaeKwonDo, and Black Collar. I also have a 1st degree in the Arnis. How long have you been training?

Yeah, I train in those, but wrestling, and ninjutsu, but I train in modern Arnis, a Filipino stick/knife/sword/empty hand, system.

For self defense yes, HaganaH and Krav Maga, are all about overwhelming, and quickly disabling your opponent.

Everyone says get a gun, but my boss' instructor has known women who carried guns, didn't train, got their gun taken, were raped and killed with their own gun. Learn how to deal with a gun, from both ends, pointing it at someone, and having it pointed at you.

I forgot to add an explanation.

I have been "debating" this guy on another site over the validity of the Kalam, my position is that the argument holds no scientific water, but he claims it does, I proposed this argument, but he rejected it by saying that I exclude the possibility of God. I don't reject the possibility, I'm just saying that there is no need to postulate a god to explain the origin of the universe.

The best thing a woman can do to defend herself is train in Krav Maga, or Haganah, from an acredited instructor. Not take a class, but continually train.

Can causality exist without time?

If you could explain your reason, provided it's yes or no, haha, that would be awesome

If a church is allowed to discriminate based on their religious beliefs, that are based on a book they claim is infallible, that church should have to follow the other edicts of its infallible book. Correct? So if a Christian church refuses to hold a homosexual couples wedding, they should also not allow menstruating women to enter their church, because the bible "clearly" says both are wrong.
@eliannaevans the bible never says that its just telling basic cleaness and how to handle your self on your pireod

It says that if a woman is on her monthly bleed she is unclean for 7 days, anything she touches is unclean, if a man has sex while on her period they are both to be cast out of the community, and that at the end of her period she has to bring two birds to the priest to sacrifice, one for sin, and the other to be burnt, to atone for her uncleanliness.

@VicZinc They don't. If a couple enters a Christian church and says I am gay perform marriage S/he will get the boot If a...

Are you saying gay people leave their used condoms on the way out? Haha! And I know for a fact they won't kick out women who are on their period. Someone said that once, back when I used to go to church, and the general response was ew. Then we kept on goin.
